Not sure of the price as it was shoved in my hand by a "happy" uncle at the end of the night that had a case. Good veritial character, but kind of on the green herb side. Fine for free, but not worth the $20 or so I'm sure it cost. Another in a recent line of bad 97's. This does bode well in the cellar space dept for the upcomming 00 Barolo releases.
